2008 Linda McCartney News Paul McCartney is planning to release a coffee table book dedicated to Linda. The book will contain Linda's world-acclaimed photography and intimate recollections from Paul & Linda's 30-year relationship. In late April, Paul opened an exhibition of Linda's photography at the James Hyman Gallery in London, marking the 10th anniversary of Linda's passing. Paul McCartney on Linda's photos at the James Hyman Gallery: Paul praised Linda as "an artist with a special vision" at the opening of the exhibition. "She could see beauty in changing a baby's nappy," said Paul. "Linda was clever, she was intuitive, and a great artist, and I'm delighted that this exhibition gives people a chance to see that." Paul says three years were spent readying the exhibit. Daughter Mary McCartney — who, like her mom, is a venerated photographer — helped Macca assemble the collection. "The photographs not only illustrate her incredible talent as an artist, but as someone who was very much connected to the culture of the times and wasn't afraid to challenge herself or her subject," says Sir Paul. Paul, who performed a career-spanning medley at the 2008 BRIT Awards, said two of the included songs had special meanings. Sir Paul performed the gala's finale as he accepted the BRIT for Outstanding Contribution To Music. "'Live And Let Die' is the song that reminds me of Linda," said Paul. "'Hey Jude' reminds me of John." The 150-year-old brass ensemble called the Black Dyke Band performed a Paul McCartney composition which has never been previously heard by the public. The piece was originally composed by Paul as a tribute to Linda while he was assembling the Ecce Cor Meum oratorio project. It was performed at Derby Cathedral on February 23rd, 2008, as part of a benefit for the Derby Salvation Army. The Black Dyke Band, when it was billed "John Foster & Sons Ltd Black Dyke Mills Band," released a McCartney original, "Thingumybob," backed by a cover of "Yellow Submarine" on one of the first Apple single releases in 1968. The band has also done projects with several classical performers and rock artists like Tori Amos and Peter Gabriel.
